• Abstract:
  Smaller communities, like their larger cousins, must modify their transportation networks to suit changes in demand. However, unlike larger communities, smaller communities may lack the ability to pay for these improvements, either through developer contributions or through an effective capital projects budget. With the availability of capital projects grants decreasing over time, small, rural communities are becoming even less able to perform necessary system improvements to keep pace with increasing demand. This presentation discusses the constraints facing small, rural communities and how two cities and a county worked together with the assistance of local citizens, integrating land use planning, transportation planning and a geographic information system and using a simple model to begin to allocate "fair share."
